Known by their Foreheads.

II cannot express an opinion on the
sub ject of palmistry or even upon phre-
nology," said a well-known surgeon to
reporter of the New York Mail and .Er-
press recently, 'for l have never studied
either of them, but do know that the
forehead has language of its own. BY
studying 1t the character of the person
can be determined almost to a certainty.
Take aman who has a very retreating fore
head, which is low and shallow, you will
find him deficient in intellect. If only
slightly retreating, or what appears to be
retreating, from the fullness of the forms
over the eyes, you will find him very
susceptible, very imaginative, as well as
humorous and witty. Ride on an ele-
waited train some day and compare the
foreheads of those persons you know
with such of their characteristics as you
may be acquainted with, and you will
find that those noted as being slow
and dull will have very project
ing foreheads. On the other hand,
among men noted for their solid un-
derstanding. powers of concentration and
studious habits you will find a pepen-
dicular forehead, rather high and well
rounded at the temples. Note man
whose forehend is crossed perpendicu-
larly between the eyebrows with wrink-
les of the same length. Yon may be
sure he is an ill-tempered man Wrink-
les, however, of unusual length indicate
deep thought. Sensitiveness and geni-
ality is shown by a low, arched fore
head. full at the temples, and when com
bined with a great fullness over the eyes
denotes an improbable and idealistic ma
ture. Persons possessing poetic, ardent
and sensitive natures not unfrequently
have blue vein forming letter ''y" in
an Open, smooth and low forehead.
High, narrow, wholly unwrinkled fcre-
heads, over which the skin is tightly
drawn, show a weakness of will power,
and lack of Imagination or suscepti-
bility, while foreheads not entirely pro-

tered expression through the drumsticks.
Marches were so dreadfully mixed up
with quicksteps and funeral dirges that,
when he was to help furnish the music,
it was as equally impossible to infuse mil
itary ardor on the parade as to clothe
with proper solemnity the funeral of a
comrade.
Finally, John got to be so habitual a
resident Of the guard house that the
drum-maior could get no service from
him whatever, and it was decreed that
he should be drummed ont of the regi
ment.
The drum-major arranged and gave
orders that the ten tifers should play ten
different tunes, and that there should be
a proper and vigorous accompaniment
from the nine ''boisterous untuned
drums The music may possibly be
imagined by a very versatile musician,
but cannot be described until some more
language has been invented.
In this triumphal manner we escorted
him through the camp, and about half a
mile outside the regimental lines

Their Own FanIt.

Many farmers complain of what they
call their hard lot They work hard,
they say, all their lives and yet never get
ahead any. They dress poorly and
live poorly, and never spend q
cent for any new or improved thing,
no matter if it promises to bring
back hundred fold. When prices are
high they have nothing to sell and their
tub is always bottom up when it rains.
To illustrate at the present time the price
of strictly fresh laid eggs in Boston at
retail is from 40 to so cents per dozen,
and it would be interesting and in
tructive to know how may farmers in
this State are able to take advantage of
these high prices. The following letters
show what can be accomplished by in
telligent and entcrprising farmers.
